She pouted and looked at Delbert, her voice soft and weak, her eyes filled with tears.Her man was so dominant that she had to yield for him to let her go.Delbert maintained an unwavering face but didn't overlook the mischievous glint in Harriet's eyes. In an instant, he learned about her trick. Oh, she wanted to act miserable again to make him let her go?He wouldn't be fooled again!Today, he would make it clear to Harriet who her man was and where her gaze should be. He wouldn't let her shift her gaze to Vernon again whenever she saw him. Seeing him staring intensely at her with fervent eyes, without saying no or letting her go, Harriet felt nervous. She began turning her eyes, scheming. She held his handsome face with her cold hands, her eyes red. "Delbert, didn't you say the other day on the back of the hill that you would listen to me in the future? But after only a few days, you stop listening, eh? Waaa..." With a twitch of her nose, Harriet gathered her sad fee
"Why can't I open the door?" Nora complained. "Harriet, Mr. Delbert," she called. "Mom and Dad asked me to come over and take a look. Did anything happen?" The footsteps drew closer, the door handle clanked as it was forcefully turned, and a woman was speaking. Only then did Harriet snap out of her daze.Nora had come. If Nora caught her and Delbert in such a state in the bathroom… it would be bad for her, and also very damaging to Delbert's reputation.He had just become the president of the Carlson Group, so he couldn't afford any scandal at this critical moment. "Delbert, my sister is here. Let me go, okay?"Harriet's legs stiffened as she gently pushed Delbert, but the latter didn't let her go. She nibbled her lip unconsciously and wrapped her arms around his sturdy waist, her eyes pleading with him for help.Delbert remained calm and was even a little excited.He barely opened his thin-lipped mouth, his voice low and distant. "Why do you have to be afraid? Aren'
As a result, because she was nervous and lacked kissing experience, her teeth accidentally pierced into Delbert's lip, making it bleed.Seeing Harriet kissing him clumsily, Delbert felt helpless, but his face showed infinite affection. It seemed that Harriet was indeed not good at this. After they got married, he would have to teach her seriously. “Delbert, your lips are bleeding!”Feeling a metallic smell in her mouth, Harriet was nervous and about to push Delbert away. But Delbert would not let her go because the gentle, soft touch on his lips from hers was mesmerizing. He cradled her head and deepened the kiss!"Oh..."Their lips locked, igniting a firework of sensations.Only after a long while did Delbert let go of the dazed Harriet. Upon seeing her delicate collarbone, alluring in the light, he, driven by a powerful sense of possessiveness, lowered his head to kiss it.He bit the collarbone hard, leaving an exclusive print! "Oh, Delbert, it hurts!"The poor H
Vernon, who knew at first glance that the one on Harriet's collarbone was a love bite left by Delbert, pinched it hard a few times. The love bite instantly became red and purple, causing him to think about sex. Harriet felt a stabbing pain from these pinches, tears filling her eyes, looking pitiful.But Vernon didn't soften his heart. He knew Harriet was skilled at lying. She had used to deceive him. Now she was fooling Delbert. She wanted all men to believe she was foolish and easy to deceive, increasing their protective instincts towards her.And the men had fallen into her trap and couldn't come out. Harriet finally cooled down, her eyes red. "Bad apple, let me go!"Her enchanting eyes brimmed with caution and disdain towards Vernon, holding no trace of the once-present love she harbored for him."No!"A hint of hurt crossed Vernon's gentle and handsome face as he questioned, "Harriet, you used to like beef stew, didn't you? I cooked it for you myself, but why di
Vernon stepped forward and extended his long arm, holding Harriet tightly in his arms. The latter struggled to break free, but it was to no avail."Harriet, I know you're trying to provoke me. That's why you showed your affection for Delbert in front of me. Let's stop the nonsense. I know I was wrong. Let's make up!" Vernon said with a face full of distress.But Harriet felt so disgusted, looking at him as if he were mentally challenged. 'He is so ordinary, but why is he so confident?' she thought. At these words, Delbert, who was on his way to find Harriet, felt greatly agitated.It turned out that Harriet's "compromise" with him earlier was all to provoke Vernon, the one she had always loved deeply?Since she had not come out of the bathroom after such a long time, he specifically came over to check on her. If he had not come, he wouldn't have heard these words. He was wondering when she would stop lying to him.A great pain flashed across Delbert's eyes. Immediately, he cle
Chapter 79Harriet stared blankly at the fierce-looking Delbert, but the latter was silent. He just stared back at her, his gaze as sharp as a knife, seemingly able to pierce through her.She took a deep breath and finally plucked up the courage to ask again, "What's wrong with you, Delbert? Did I upset you again by doing something wrong?"Facing his silence and serious expression, she was flustered. She reached out to pull his hem, but Delbert grabbed her wrist."Stop acting!"Delbert's cold eyes mocked Harriet, who seemed frightened by him. "Even if you're not tired, I don't bother to continue this drama with you!"His eyes were bloodshot, and his voice, low and husky, carried a numbing coldness reminiscent of the bone-chilling snow from the Alps that never melts.He struggled to suppress the boiling bloodlust within him, but the crimson at the corners of his eyes intensified. Just the memory of what Vernon said and their embrace fueled his anger. In such fury, he wished to
"Get out of the car!" Delbert ordered coldly. "Delbert, I'm not going to get out. I'm going to stay with you!" Harriet said meekly, slowly shaking her head. She thought playing coquettish would work, but in Delbert's eyes, the strategy was too ordinary because it had been used too frequently. And he had to break the habit of being soft when seeing this. "Don't force me to throw you off!" Delbert maintained a cold face, as frosty as the snow-covered landscape. But Harriet stubbornly refused to leave the car, keeping a straight face. Delbert hardened his heart and shouted through gritted teeth, "Cory!"Seeing Delbert's dark face, Cory dared not delay and promptly got out of the car, opening the door."Madam, please.""No, I'm not going to!"Faced with Delbert's harsh words, Harriet's heart clenched in pain.She continued her feeble struggle, fingers tightly gripping the car door. In the end, Delbert heartlessly pried open each of her fingers, and Cory unwillingly took
As night fell, the city lights began to shine. Holy Night, the largest entertainment venue in Meawood City, was enigmatic and mysterious, not only due to its mysterious origins but also because of its owner. It was said that no one had ever seen its owner because he rarely showed up and all its affairs were taken care of by the general manager Marc. Rumors circulated that its owner was either a wealthy foreign tycoon or a mafia leader who had influence in both the legal and underworld realms. Despite various versions of the story, nobody knew for sure who its owner was.Now, three men were seated in the most luxurious VIP room on the top floor. Among them were Marc, the general manager of Holy Night, Sean Mitchell, the top lawyer of Meawood City, and Yuri Grayson, the young scion of the noble Grayson family from Imperium. These three men, along with Delbert, were known as the Four Noble Sons of Luminara, and their families were the four great aristocratic families of Imperiu
Chapter 783Delbert spoke like a spoiled child, and Harriet couldn't help but laugh. She felt that Delbert was acting strangely.After holding her for a while, Delbert led her to walk outside."Let's go!" he said eagerly.It made Harriet feel even more puzzled.Before long, they arrived at a nearby amusement park.After getting out of the car, Harriet noticed that the scenery at the amusement park was beautiful."The Ferris wheels!" Delbert smiled, leading her toward the Ferris wheel.Delbert bought two tickets, and they got on the Ferris wheel hand in hand.Throughout the ride, Delbert held Harriet's hand tightly, while his other hand secretly took out an engagement ring from his suit pocket.Harriet saw it and finally realized what was going on.It was a surprise that Delbert had prepared for her.Delbert went down on one knee and spoke solemnly, "Ms. Harriet Munoz, would you be willing to marry me?"His eyes shone eagerly. He was even more nervous than when Harriet marr
Chapter 782Marc wondered if Molly had developed depression at that time.Molly slowly sat up and said, "You were forced to marry me, so you must have been angry, right? I remember everything!"Marc held her hand and listened quietly.His heart was in turmoil, but he didn't know what to say.Molly didn't want to recall those things, but today she had to bring them all up."I bumped into Lula scheming against you and was forced to sleep with you. Then I married you. But would Lula let me off so easily?"Marc could guess what had happened, and he said, "It's all in the past. Don't dwell on it. I'm different from before. You can trust me and depend on me."Molly forced a smile and said, "You don't know. Because of your misunderstanding and torment, Lula had people insult and slander me. Those things eventually led to my psychological trauma, causing my depression. Do you understand now?"Marc looked at her pale face and felt a sting of guilt.It was his fault.He held Molly in
Chapter 781Molly intended to drape the blanket over Marc, but Marc woke up."You're awake. How are you feeling?" Marc said with concern, his eyes bloodshot.Molly shook her head. "I'm alright. Sorry to wake you up.""Well, the doctor told me that you had taken many antidepressants," Marc said in distress.Molly turned pale, not expecting the doctor to reveal her depression.The disease had been haunting her and reminding her of the unpleasant past.Molly met Marc's gaze and faltered. Her hands clutched the blanket, as she didn't know how to broach the topic."You're my wife. I have the right to know the truth," Marc said seriously.They had been together for so long, but he didn't know about this matter until an outsider told him.Molly bit her lip and shook her head. Unable to hold back, she cried out, "I'm sorry, Marc. I really..."Marc stood up and took her into his arms. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry. It's my fault. I shouldn't have rushed you. It's okay if you don
Chapter 780When Marc arrived at the hospital, the medical team was already waiting at the entrance.Marc quickly briefed them on Molly's condition. "My wife suddenly fainted. I'm not sure what's going on. Please help check on her." "Mr. Welch, please wait outside," the nurse said, intercepting him.Marc looked at the closed emergency room, and anxiety caused him to feel breathless.After a long time, the doctor came out, and Marc urgently asked, "How is she?""After a series of tests, we confirmed that Harriet has stomach cancer," the doctor said solemnly.Marc was struck dumb. Even his ears were buzzing."What?" He trembled."Her stomach has suffered significant damage, and she can't eat many things," the doctor explained, sighing at Marc's dejected look."But she's always been fine? Did you make a mistake in the examination?" Marc said, looking at the doctor incredulously.He had been with Molly for so long, but he hadn't heard of her stomach discomfort."I know the res
Chapter 779Later, Delbert handed over the audio recordings of Sadie and Felipe's conspiracy, as well as the evidence of Sadie's attempt to embezzle assets from the Carlson Group, to the police.The police immediately began the trial of Sadie and Felipe. In the end, the court sentenced them to eight years in prison.Excited about the news, Harriet led Delbert to see Miriam.Seeing her innocent look, Delbert wanted to embrace her and protect her forever.Miriam saw Harriet's happy face and asked, "What's going on? You look so happy.""I have some good news to tell you," Harriet replied.She let go of Delbert's hand and hugged Miriam. "Felipe and Sadie have been sentenced to eight years in prison. We won, and the Bass family is finally ours."Miriam took some time to overcome her shock. "Is it true?"She never thought they would win in the end.Harriet nodded vigorously, and Miriam confirmed the truth.She could finally return to the Bass family.She no longer cared about Fel
Chapter 778Levi raised his glass to congratulate them. "Yvonne, Delbert, I wish you happiness forever.""Me too," Arthur said.The others followed suit. Delbert had to drink with them one after another.They wanted to test Delbert's endurance and love for Harriet.Delbert kept drinking until his face was flushed red.When the meal was over, Andy and the others went back to rest.Harriet and Delbert were left alone in the living room.Harriet used the tissue to wipe Delbert's face.Her gaze was filled with tenderness.Enchanted, Delbert grabbed her hand and put it on his chest."Harriet, I missed you so much," he said.His breath, mixed with the fragrance of wine, sprayed on Harriet's face.Then Delbert bent down to kiss her.They cuddled together, their eyes locked in a collision of longing.They kept holding each other, and Harriet bravely met his gaze.Delbert picked her up and carried her upstairs.The sound of rain drowned out many sounds, but it couldn't extingui
Chapter 777Soon, Delbert received a mail containing the documents.He skimmed them through and found that everything was fine at the company. Ben was quite a good manager.Delbert was satisfied with his performance.But Ben remained nervous, even though he could tell Delbert's good mood."You've done very well!" Delbert praised.Relieved, Ben scratched his head and said, "Thank you, sir.""You've been with me for a long time. Do you think I should give you a raise?" Delbert said.In Ben's mind, his current salary and the benefits provided by the Carlson Group were quite good, but who would refuse more money?"Is it okay, sir?" he tentatively asked.Delbert fell silent. Ben shivered and quickly added, "No need. I think it's good enough.""No, you will get a raise," Delbert smiled, having learned to scare people from Harriet.Subconsciously, he had been affected by Harriet.Ben was overjoyed, wondering if it was Harriet's credit.In the evening, Harriet sent a message to D
Chapter 776Delbert handed Saide over to the police and left without hesitation.Sadie bit her lip, her eyes glistening with tears. The police officers took her away for interrogation.Sadie couldn't accept the fact that Delbert had no feelings for her at all.In the interrogation room, she licked her wounds and refused to talk.Her heart was broken, and her face was covered with tears.Delbert couldn't wait to see Harriet.Harriet was working. To avoid disturbing her work, he decided to meet her at the family banquet in the evening."I'm working right now. Can you come over tonight?" Harriet said.She was eager to see Delbert, holding and smelling him."Oh, you don't want to see me?" Delbert teased her."How could that be? But I'm working. With you around, I can't focus, so you have to wait for a while," Harriet said while reviewing the documents.After Felipe's arrest, a lot of things at the company required her attention. She was up to her neck."I can help you," Delber
Chapter 775Felipe was on tenterhooks when he received a message from his trusted aide."Miss Bass has disappeared in Meawood City. We couldn't find her," the man reported."Keep searching and find her at all costs," Felipe urgently said.He used all his connections and even hired private detectives, but there was still no news.It wasn't until Sadie returned to Imperium that Felipe got the information. To his surprise, Sadie had gone to Meawood City with Delbert.Although Delbert had lost his memory, Felipe couldn't feel reassured. He decided to temporarily leave Imperium and lay low for a while.He packed up his belongings and planned to escape abroad.Just as he was transferring his assets at home, the police suddenly came to his door."Hello, are you Mr. Felipe Bass?" they said.Felipe didn't expect the police to act so quickly. He said nervously, "Yes, may I help you?"But the following words from the police dashed his last hope. "Based on the video sent by Miss Harriet
